It's a bit of a whitewash, don't you think, in that there is no authority from the New Testament for doing anything to "heretics" beside removing them from the congregation. And the secular power of the church was anathema to a "kingdom not of this world".

Hardly. There is no authority from the New Testament claiming that the New Testament, or the Bible, is the sole authority.
